Slope-intercept form:

y = mx + b

"m" is the slope, "b" is the y-intercept (the y value when x = 0 or (0,y))


Since you know m = 2/3, plug it into the equation

y = 2/3x + b

To find "b", plug in the point into the equation (-3,2)

y = 2/3x + b

2 = 2/3(-3) + b

2 = -2 + b

4 = b


y = 2/3x + 4



Point-slope form:

y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)


You know:

m = 2/3

(x₁ , y₁) = (-3,2)

Plug this into the equation:

y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)

y - 2 = 2/3(x - (-3))

y - 2 = 2/3(x + 3)
